Media In A Changing Global Media By Jaritza Flores-Garcia

We, the people, learned about the media industry today that now it has spread globalization around the world because of the knowledge we are sharing and it’s never been so easier to give others information. But what does this mean for the world of technology? Well, if we want to know how does globalization became an important part of the media world then I suggest we should start discussing the future of it.

Globalization in media is the icing on the cake because of human communication when people get involved in making their knowledge more efficient and accurate, providing them with information to collect so they could create a piece of mind for themselves. In the article entitled, Media Literacy: A National Priority for a Changing World, Elizabeth Thoman stated that “Today, information about the world around us comes to us not only by words on a piece of paper but more and more through the powerful images and sounds of our multi-media culture.” This quote makes a very convincing point that humans could use communication through different types of sources including social media to interact with each other to create adequate conversions to ensure their communication skills are more informative.

But how can globalization be the main reason why the media is changing the way we know about the real world? I could give you one reason why it is changing and it is because of Henry Jenkins who stated in his article, Eight Traits of the New Media Landscape about being innovative that “We are the midst of a period of prolonged and profound technological change. New media are created, dispersed, adopted, adapted, and absorbed into the culture at dramatic rates. It is certainly possible to identify previous “revolutions” in communication.” This quote proved that we should give in the new media so we could test our knowledge of the world around us.

Not only we were given the knowledge of our society but it gives us our opinion about the events that happen throughout the world just to share more information with other people. For example, recently, in Christchurch, New Zealand, 50 Muslims were killed and dozens were injured during two mass shootings in two mosques, the Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre by an Australian and a White Supremacist who believed that Muslims should not be in the world. This broke my heart to see the hatred they have because of where they lived and their race, but the media gives us our thoughts about the events that happen whether they’re good or bad.

In the closing statement, we now know that globalization in media is a very important step to spread information across the world and sharing it with others because we could learn these things so we could create an innovative and accurate society where communication and knowledge are a mix for the benefit of the real world today.
